Linux Operating System Source Code: IBM Patches

 
Add /sbin/hotplug support for all devices
Description:
Adds /sbin/hotplug notification whenever a device is added or removed
from the system.  This plugs into the driver model core, so now
all devices get notification.

Callbacks are also created for PCI and USB to enable those busses (or any
other bus) to add specific environment variables for when those types
of devices are found or removed.
